Milling wheat premium needs to be E30/t to add extra nitrogen

摘要

Milling wheat growers will need a E30/t premium over feed wheat prices to make it worthwhile to put extra nitrogen on their crops. This will give them a good chance of hitting the breadmaker's need for 13 protein grain.Ammonium nitrate prices are soaring due to high energy costs and the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Many growers will, therefore, be wondering if it is worth adding extra expensive nitrogen at the flag-leaf stage to crops if milling premiums are under pressure.
